also for bandwagon NBA clowns that keep lumping Stephen Cunt A Smith as the Consummate 'Knicks' Fan. I've met ton of people like him in NY that always root for bandwagon teams and never the hometown team, ESPn just happened to 'assign' him as a Knicks fans since their constant MO is to shit on anything NY in general (while ironically having most of their newly built studios in NYC)

can't tell you how many times i made fun of the chicago cubs 100+ year championship drought with ppl from chicago and they went on "you think i care, i'm a white sox fan and we just won it all couple years back." Yeah those same frauds had crocodile tears flowing when the Cubs eventually did win it all, acting like they'd been there every step of the way.

knicks had zero chance in 2013 or at any point in the melo era. fun little era for them, but never a serious contender
2012-13 still was our best chance to win if we got thru Indiana (still have nightmares of Roy Hibbert who literally got booted out of the league less than 3 years later) since we matched up really well against Miami (20+ point differential in 4 regular season games) and even San Antonio, since we were the only team at the time to take 30+ 3s a game. And even if we didn't win, I would have liked to see some games against Miami since we got embarassed the year before. Jason Kidd and Rasheed Wallace was amazing for that team's presence
we should have made it in 2013-14 w/ everyone outside of Miami/Indiana falling off a cliff but that Bargnani Trade cursed us until last season, and we regressed this season w/ Randle playing like dogshit
what pisses me more than anything about him is that because bandwagon fans treat ESPN like the Bible, they'll listen to his opinion before anyone else and treat everything else as fake news (when in fact he is the fake news). And what he says about the Knicks at any point in time is almost always the complete opposite of what most Knicks fans are thinking about a certain player/trade, he basically gets away whatever he wants to say and the rest of the company (and sports media that live outside of NYC) get away with it as well. So until we got on a legit run, he and ESPN get to say whatever they want and we can't do anything about it until then

at no point did the knicks come across as being in the same league as the top dogs in the east
1. miami
2. boston/indiana (toss-up)
4. chicago
a massive gap
5. knicks
even the highlight of the knicks decade, linsanity, came to a sudden abrupt halt when they played Miami.
2013 was also the year the heat won 27 straight. yeah you're out of your mind if you think the knicks had a shot.

JR was cold too that season (2012-13)

Boston in 2012-13 was old Pierce and KG (and Jason Terry) on the verge of retirement, they were at .500 all season that year and limped into the playoffs. We should have swept them that year if not for the JR Smith elbow on Jason Terry
2011-12 was their best chance if they didn't let LeBron go off for 45 in ECF Game 6 and get to the Finals (where they probably beat an inexperienced KD/Westbrook/Harden)
Indiana in 3 straight seasons playing Miami in the playoffs had amazing defense but never had enough offense (w/ Granger or PG) to overwhelm Miami. Knicks didn't have the defense but in the East we were the only team that could keep up with the Heat offensively
